Taken on May 8, 2021 @Maipo. The second photo shows a clearer view of the yellowish green ring on the lower part of its leg.

Couldn't find any info on the web about this ring, except the fact that there are only approx. 100 Spoon-billed Sandpipers in the world which were ringed?

Great photo!

The Spoon-billed Sandpiper has a unique colour-flagging system which is different from other shorebird species in this Flyway.

White LM was ringed in breeding ground at Meinypilgyno, Chukotka, Russia in summer 2020.
It was a chick raised by the headstarting conservation programme:
